Eagle lands in Newcastle

2008-04-22

Visitors to Newcastle airport can now relax in an American style diner before they travel.

The airport is the first location outside London to see the opening of an Eagle Bar Diner – a move which marks the start of a progressive upgrade of the airport’s facilities. The diner will be offering an international menu of food and drinks to travellers - whatever time of day they choose to dine.

It has sleek American design influences and space for more than 200 travellers.

Owner Nicholas O’Dwyer opened the first Eagle Bar Diner in London’s Rathbone Place in 2002.

He said: “We are very excited to bring the Eagle Bar Diner brand to the north east. It’s the right product for the international airport environment. The menu caters for people from different time zones, whether it’s cocktails at 6am or breakfast at 6pm”

“The opening of Eagle Bar Diner forms part of our wider plans to revamp and upgrade the restaurants, cafes, shops and other facilities we offer to customers in the terminal.”

Airport commercial head Nicola Boulter said: “The diner’s excellent food, classy cocktails and swift table service are sure to prove popular with passengers who are looking for a relaxed restaurant experience before they fly.
